forrest fenns treasure found ??

SANTA FE, N.M. — In 2010, an eccentric millionaire named Forrest Fenn allegedly placed gold coins, precious metals, jewels and artifacts in a treasure chest and hid it somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. Fenn claimed the loot is worth at least $1 million.

To help adventurers hone in on the treasure's location, Fenn included a handful of clues in his published memoirs. Among the nine hints are cryptic references such as "warm waters" and "the home of Brown."

What does it mean? That depends on who you talk to. There are hundreds of theories that more or less line up with the clues. Eager treasure hunters have traversed the western states in search of the chest, and they often compare notes and share tips on websites like dalneitzel.com.

But the treasure may have already been recovered.

A recent article from the Santa Fe New Mexican gives a glimpse into the frenzy that has surrounded the treasure. It also raises the possibility that the treasure has been found.
